The Summer of 1956...
No smartphones or computers! How could any teen live way back then? For one thing, you could buy a banana split from the Atomic Shake diner for a quarter...but on your way there you might run into some creepy extra-dimensional beings who want to take over your baseball league, your town and your body - and they're not real concerned about the order of getting it done! Yikes!Fourteen year-old Peter Miller and his best friend Mike DeSorcier begin the summer of 1956 on a mission to capture a baseball championship but soon uncover a group of extra-dimensional beings infiltrating their league. Assistance (and lots more trouble) arrives in the form of two daring and mystifying girls - the unusual Karen Croft and the bewitching Jo Munro. Together, the teens must solve the mystery of the Noqumiut before their fateful summer ends.
